Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

A 24-hour strike is taking place on the Central and Waterloo & City lines on 7 November, with limited or no service across both lines.

The Central line will resume at around 5.30am on Thursday 8 November.

During the walkout, Central line tickets are being accepted on London Buses, London Overground, London DLR, TfL Rail and Greater Anglia services.

London mayor Sadiq Khan has called on the unions to end the "unnecessary" Central line strike happening today.

He says that since he became mayor, the number of strike days has fallen by 65 per cent.

Others weren't so sure, with many responding to Khan's tweet asking him to resign.
